Marijuana and VA

Question:

Hi Jim, I was hoping you could give me the link to the VA stand on medical marajuana?  I was hoping there might be an updated link. Thank you

Jim's Reply:

The VA position is that it's not legal and they will not prescribe it even in legal states. There is no penalty for using marijuana or any other substance. VA benefits aren't predicated on being drug free although your VA doctor may withhold other prescription psychoactive drugs. Learn more here https://www.vawatchdog.org/marijuana---va.html
